Now that sum­mer is here, most of us spend a lot of time out­doors whether it’s in the warm sun­shine, or sit­ting under a porch or an awning while it’s raining.

Along with sum­mer comes those pesky bugs, namely mosquitoes!!

I am one of those peo­ple who get’s picked on and bit­ten the most by those damn mos­qui­toes, I am unsure of why they love me so much, but they swarm around me no mat­ter what! I have even been out at camp in the bush pick­ing blue­ber­ries and those darn things have bit­ten through my track pants and t-shirt!

I was con­vinced that there would never be a cure-all, but thanks to the Ther­ma­CELL Mos­quito Patio Lantern — the mos­qui­toes have diminished!!

Not only are mos­qui­toes both­er­some, one must also worry about the dreaded West Nile Virus!

West Nile virus is a dis­ease spread by mosquitoes.

The West Nile virus is a type of virus known as a fla­vivirus. Researchers believe West Nile virus is spread when a mos­quito bites an infected bird and then bites a person.

Although many peo­ple are bit­ten by mos­qui­toes that carry West Nile virus, most do not know they’ve been exposed. Few peo­ple develop severe dis­ease or even notice any symp­toms at all.

Risk fac­tors for devel­op­ing a more severe form of West Nile virus include:

•Con­di­tions that weaken the immune sys­tem, such as HIV, organ trans­plants, and recent chemotherapy

•Older or very young age

•Preg­nancy

West Nile virus may also be spread through blood trans­fu­sions and organ trans­plants. It is pos­si­ble for an infected mother to spread the virus to her child through breast milk.

Symp­toms

Mild dis­ease, gen­er­ally called West Nile fever, may cause some or all of the fol­low­ing symptoms:

•Abdom­i­nal pain

•Diar­rhea

•Fever

•Headache

•Lack of appetite

•Mus­cle aches

•Nau­sea

•Rash

•Sore throat

•Swollen lymph nodes

•Vom­it­ing

These symp­toms usu­ally last for 3 — 6 days.

More severe forms of dis­ease, which can be life threat­en­ing, may be called West Nile encephali­tis or West Nile menin­gi­tis, depend­ing on what part of the body is affected.

If you’re going to be out­side you need a Ther­ma­cell Mos­quito Area Repel­lent Patio Lantern. All I can say is wow. This thing is amaz­ing! I took it out on our first trip to the cot­tage this year and it’s been a really warm spring where the black flies were all over the place. I turned this thing on and within 5 min­utes there was not one fly in sight. UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!!! I hate mosquito’s as well, and their were none in sight while this device was on! I’m really impressed, and so happy that I was sent one for review! My hus­band said that this was a God-send, and he told me that we need a few more for camp, as well as for when he goes on fish­ing and his yearly hunt­ing trips! You can pur­chase these babies right at the ThermaCELL.com web­site, as well as at a lot of the big box stores such as Cana­dian Tire, Home Depot, Wal­mart, and even on Amazon.com!

Their cus­tomer ser­vice skills as well as their deliv­ery time were also beyond outstanding!!
